Happy With The Blues

key of C, cross harp, F
moderately slow

6 -4 -2 -4 4
I've done some trav'lin'
6 -4 -2 -4 4
Done some un-rav'lin'
6 -4 -2 -4 4
And for this shoestring
-3 4 -4 5
Paid lots of dues.
-7 6 5 -6 -6
But sometimes maybe,
4 5 6 -6 -7
He calls me ba -by,
6 -4 -2 -4 -4' 4 -3' -3''
And then I'm happy with the blues.

-3 -3 4 -4 -4 5 -5
So many nights, many days
-5 5 -4 -4 4 -3 -3 4 5 -4 5 -5
I kept tel -ling myself what to do, where to go.
-3' -3 -5 -4 -1 2 -4' -3
But I stay here' cause I need him
-1' 2 4 -3' 2 -3''
And he needs me, I know.
-4 -3'' -1 -3'' -2
Rooms get so lone -ly,
-1 -2'' -2' -3' -3 -3
Without his fun -ny face
-7 6 5 4 -3 -3'' 2 -2
So, I'll be happy with the blues
